 ====== VLC ======
+Did you know: You can launch VLC in a CLI mode with ''cvlc'', and an [[ncurses]] interface with ''nvlc''.
 ===== Video Capture =====
 To capture video from my webcam I:
-  - Use [[alsamixer]] to make sure the mic volume's on/up :)
+  - Use [[tool:software:alsamixer]] to make sure the mic volume's on/up :)
   - ''Media > Open Capture Device'' (or ''Ctrl+c'')
   - Make sure things are setup in ''Capture Mode'', ''Video Device Name'' and ''Audio Device Name''.
   - Instead of ''Play'' you want ''Capture''
+===== MIDI =====
+[[MIDI]] support is not included in [[arch>vlc|the regular VLC package]] in [[Arch Linux]]. Supposedly it's included in [[aur>vlc-git|the git version of the package]] in the [[AUR]], but that's not currently building for me because of a [[Lua]] problem.
+===== Disable Autoplay =====
+By default VLC will play the next thing in a playlist automatically. I needed to temporarily disable this when listening to a bunch of sound effects, so the next one would only play when you either double-clicked it, or pressed next.
+  Tools > Preferences > Playlist > Play and pause
+o-> If you can't find 'Playlist' you're probably in the 'Simple' view. Check the radio buttons in the bottom left.
+===== Plug-ins =====
+VLC doesn't have built-in support for [[Pipewire]] yet, but you can add it with [[https://www.remlab.net/vlc-plugin-pipewire/|vlc-plugin-pipewire]] ([[aur>vlc-plugin-pipewire]]). After installing you just need to go into the audio tab in preferences and set Pipewire as your output device.
